| Posted: 01 Oct 2011 08:20 AM PDT If you're a Smart Buddy subscriber and you love texting as much as you love staying connected on Facebook and Twitter wherever you go, then you surely won't find it hard to fall in love with this new text, call and surf promo from Smart! Check out Smart LAHATxt UNLI 25!  Get unlimited texts to all networks + 10 minutes of SMART-to-SMART calls + 25mb of consumable internet (good for hundreds of Facebook and Twitter status updates) for one whole day for - get this - only Php 25! Promo is until November 30, 2011, Per DTI-NCR Permit No. 6512, Series of 2011 So how do you register? Just text LTU25 to 2266. A few reminders: 1. One Peso maintaining balance is required. 2. To check package expiry, subscriber must text ?LU to 2266 (FREE of charge). 3. To enjoy 10 Minutes Smart-to-Smart calls, dial *2266+11-digit Smart/TNT/Red #. Ex: *226609181234567. 4. Voice calls may be used for call transactions from Smart Buddy to Smart, Talk 'N Text and Red only. 5. Multiple registrations to Lahatxt Combo offers are allowed. Concurrent registration to other packages is also allowed. TP Thoughts: A few facts, TP Friends -- 1. The Philippines is now both the undisputed Texting Capital and the new Social Networking Capital of the world. 2. Our country currently leads the world in terms of Facebook penetration with an estimated 93.9% of its Internet population regularly accessing the site. 3. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo told the tech press in San Francisco last week that the number of active monthly users of Twitter has soared to more than 100 million, with the majority of tweeps logging in using their smartphones. So what's the point? There's a new need that has to be addressed. People love to text - we already know that - but times have changed and now, these same people also want to be able to access their social networking accounts on the go. This particular promo shows that Smart is adapting well to this new trend and is doing its best to give the most pocket-friendly combos to its subscribers. Off hand, I think 25 Pesos is already sulit for such bundle of services but if Smart can come up with maybe, a 10 Pesos Student Promo (100 Text Messages to All Networks, 25MB Consumable, No Calls), I bet it would be very much appreciated.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2011 05:47 AM PDT To God be the Glory! TP Alma Mater, Ateneo de Manila University, has just won yet another UAAP Men's Basketball Championship!  Ateneo Blue Eagles beat FEU Tamaraws in Game 2 of the Finals today, 82-69, Photo Credit: Diana Moraleda One more to go before a Grand Slam! Following the team's victory in Season 74 of the UAAP, graduating Blue Eagle Point Guard Emman Monfort, Finals MVP Nico Salva, and 'Congratulations Ateneo' all became Twitter Trending Topics in the Philippines:  As earlier explained by TP, a keyword achieves trending status on Twitter when it gets a considerable volume of related tweets from a given territory. Now, exactly how many tweets are needed to make a keyword trend? Nobody knows but Twitter. Finishing his UAAP career on a high note, Emman Monfort practically orchestrated all the winning plays of Ateneo in this championship series.  Nico Salva with 100% field goal shooting during Game 1 of the Finals and trademark clamping defense in Game 2 was awarded this year's Finals MVP.  Congrats Nico! You deserve it!  Oh, and he also happens to be a model. Congratulations Ateneo! Shout out to all of our Blue Eagles this season, Greg Slaughter, Justin Chua, Jepoy Erram, Jeric Estrada, Nico Salva, Frank Golla, Gwyne Capacio, Kirk Long, Tonino Gonzaga, Oping Sumalinog, Rookie of the Year Kiefer Ravena (Congrats, Kiefer!), Bacon Austria Von Pessumal, Emman Monfort, Juami Tiongson and Jon Cipriano! One Big Fight! Read full story of UAAP Season 74 Men's Basketball Finals via my brother's blog, BallersPinas.

| Nokia 101 Dual Standby Dual SIM : CONFIRMED! Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:49 AM PDT TP Friend Cathy L. sent me this inquiry via email just a few minutes ago: "TP, I've just read your Nokia 101 feature. I understand that the phone is Dual SIM but is Nokia 101 also Dual Standby?" TP Answer: Hi Cathy! Thanks for the inquiry! I've just confirmed it with Nokia Philippines and an actual Nokia 101 owner. Yes, Cathy: Nokia 101 is Dual SIM, Dual Standby! Even the product shot confirms it:  For those who are not familiar with the term, Dual Standby means that the two SIM Cards inserted in Nokia 101 are both active and can receive calls and messages at the same time. So you don't have to cut network access of one SIM to activate the other.
